Abstract

Abd El-Monsef, Sweilam and Sabry [Quality and Reliability Engineering International, 2020, doi: 10.1002/qre.2780] proposed a four-parameter exponentiated power Lomax distribution, derived its properties and illustrated three data applications. In this note, we show that several properties expressed in terms of infinite sums can be simplified to a known special function. We also show that certain one-parameter distributions can provide better fits to at least two of the data sets considered.
